There is no longer an option to set the current view options as the default. OS Monterey 12.2.1.X

I no longer see an option to set the current view options as the default. OS Monterey 12.2.1. How do you set the default view options so you don't have to change every folder you open the first time?

How to set default finder view for all folders. Hi In finder, every folder seems to have a different view. I'd like to always see the column view by default, only changing it to somthing else when needed. Is this possible? Or even possible to do a one - off setting for all folders even if later changes to a particular folder are retained? Thanks

There has to be a way - assign different default folder views? I am trying to set up my mac so that when I open my "downloads" folder it always opens in "list" and "sort by date added" but when I open any other folder it always opens in "columns" and "sort by name" - I don't know if I'm googling this wrong (?) but I have not been able to figure out the answer and it's been bugging me for years. Is there any way to do this? It would save me so many headaches (I have ADHD and every time I have to switch the views around I lose my focus). Thanks!

It seems to only be available for List or Icon view.
